The l.iiilu biiloo raised by Mayor Baker and the Portland Oreiionian, op posing his .speech on the soviet government, was worth a thousand dollars in advertising. Steffens lias been speaking, wore or less, all over the country, and ns far as reported there has been no excitement. At least, Denver, Colorado, suffered the devastation of his words and at last reports had not gone bolshevik. His audiences have been neither large nor enthusiastic. He might have gone on speaking for months, without stirring public interest to the rippling point. Hut Portland, deur old Portland. jumps into the breach and by refusing Steffens the right to speak, promptly advertises his tour all over the country and increases his effectiveness at least a hundred fold. Thousands of people who have no interest in soviet Russia, but considerable in the right of free speech, will go to hear him now. Thousands of others will read his speech, because their curiosity will have been aroused. If Steffens has something to say about the bol sheviki so seductive that an American city of metropolitan propor tions dare not listen, then it must be worth reading. Fortunately, or unfortunately, that is the inevitable reaction upon tho popular mind. Curiosity may have killed a cat, but it has put life into more oratorical "dead ones," than any amount of fire works and friendly propoganda. Being, mi old newspaper man, Steffens must appreciate this. And ho will probably be quick to profit by it. ; The way to kill off Steffens, assuming it is desirable he should be killed off, is to let him talk. Unless he has changed in the last ten years, like most writers, he is a poor speaker. And the best way to combat tho bolshevik propoganda, is to inform the people of con ditions in Russia, not clamp down the lid and allow the imagination of general discontent to ferment. Wo don't know what Steffens hns the say about Russia. But we know if he tells the truth, he will make no soviet converts in this noek of the woods. And if he doesn't tell the truth, the best way to repu diate him is to call him a liar, and bring in the facts to condemn him. But for the love of common sense don't refuse him audience, don't advertise hiim don't allow him the pose of a martyr. That allows him an influenco ho could secure in no other way. Welt Mason NIGHTS AT HOME. I ALWAYS spend my nights at home, remote from strife and care; a pillow soft supports my dome, my feet rest on a chair; and so I read some gripping pome or volume ripe and rare. My aunts and grandmas play some tunes, or blithely sew and knit, while merry children, full of prunes, throw many a gladsome fit, till lullabys their mother croons anil so the calm hours flit. And when the morning comes I read how men who roamed by night fell victims to the auto's speed, were shot up in a fight, or touched for all their chicken feed by some unholy wight. I rend of kid napped maidens fair, and parents in distress, of youths who lose, in White Way glare, tho number of their mess, of misdeeds in the gamblers' lair, and'criines no man dare guess. I say, if those who gallivant, would spend their nights at home, with grandma, niece and maiden mint, and read some helpful tome, the crime of which the peelers runt would disappear like foam. I'd rather be with bards who think than with the men who prance to places where the glasses clink, and there arc games of chance; a book is better than a drink, or than a tango dance. And when at lawn I leave my bed I caper and I sing, no hold-up with a bar of lead, has spoiled my larboard wing, I do not have to stitch my head, or wear it in a sling. ., .. ID' E HAS EVERY LUXURY OF ROYALTY LAVISHED OPON HIM MCXINOTOX, K, Feb. Evoiy luxury hivUthod on royulty i to bo the portion of Man O War, world cbum plon thoroUKhbrod nt Hlnaiitu farm, near, hero whoro ho lina jimt biei. re tired to tho fttud, A private Broom, private feed tubs, a piivato punt lire, where ho la al lowed to run loose, theso nro some of tho thingft that aro beinff provided by bin owner, Samuel T. Ttlddlo of Phila delphia and Alius Elizabeth DaliiKer- fleld, noted woman breeder of thor- onKhbredN, under whoso earo ho has been placed. AnlmulH Hiieh ivm Man O'War nro not allowed to do tho many things their pleb!:m brother and Misters do that might expose them to danger. When the famoiiH racer left tho farm at iterlln, Maryland, where ho was stabled after hit return from hit tri umph over Sir llarton nt Windsor, ho was placed in a padded automobile van and hauled to the express car. On his arrival in Lexington, ho was unloaded into unother van and taken to the Kentucky .Jockey club race track for exhibition to admiring thous ands of KentucklaitH. When ho whs taken from the track to Hinala farm, n distance of six miles, ho was again placed In a van and hauled over the smooth highway to the farm. There he was unloaded and placed In a stall npectalry pre pared for him, with the companion of all his travels. Major Treat, the old steeple chase racer, on ono side and (lolden Ihoom, Mrs. Wnlter M. Jef fnrd's four-year old stallion on the other. For Man O'War Iovoh equine company and he Is to be kept satis fied by lmvltiK his chum with him, as well as unother high bred animal. Although Miss Dalngerfleld. whose reputation as a breeder of race horses is second to none, has snid that "A horse Is a horse and Man O'War will Just have a stable," nho told the rep resentative of the Associated Tress that she had remodeled a barn on tho farm for him. The box mulln pre pared for Man 0War and Golden U roo m mo lurge uuU roomy, giving them plenty of room In which to turn and Ho down at will. Feed tubs for Mnn O'War havo been specially built by a Lexington tin smith, special precautions being taken to aeo that tho famous racer cannot Injure himself. Tho stalls In tho bnrn aro much like thoso In the barn of any thoroughbred breeding farm, hut through and about tho barns ut alt hours of tho night a watchman makes his way to see that no harm , befalls any of tho racers. ! In a house nearby will live Frank Loftus, the man who always has cared for Man O'War, slneo his baby days on. August llelmont's "Nursery Stud,' six miles from Lvxtngton on the Georgetown plks, and where his dam, Muhubah and his sire. Fair Flay stilt aro stabled Loftus will stay with the anions horse, caring for him by day and on call at any time that his serv ices may be needed. "Man O'War is a well behaved ani mal and no extra precautions have been taken in his stall to prevent his injuring himself," tmtd Miss Dalnger- fteld. "We have made no very un usual preparatimiH for him. I have had a Mable remodeled with three stalls, one for Man O'War, one for Golden liroom, Mrs. Jefford's stallion and a smaller ono for Major Treat, Man O'War's companion, 1 have pre pared a small house nearby for Krunk Loftus, his groom, to live in. The regular nightwatchman of the farm will be on duty during the hours, when the grooms and caretakers are not present. The books for Man O'Wur and Golden Ilroom have not been prepared and I do not know to what mares he will be bred, but the plan Is to breed him to about fifteen this season. :9 PRINCIPAL TOPIC AT NEXT NEW YORK. Twelve Important cogs In the machinery of the League of Notions, many of which are to be set in motion when the council of the league convenes In Geneva, Switzer land, February 21, and the problems which await their action, are defined In a forecast of the work of the league which has just been received here. Arthur Bweetaer, an officer of the American commission to the peace conference at Versailles and now at tached to the League of Nations' secre tariat staff, is the author of the fore cast. He says the twelve cogs are really special commissions, the person nel of which will in some cases be designated by the council at its forth coming meeting. The subjects that will be handled by the commissions are enumerated by Mr. Sweetser as follows: Reduction of Armaments Technical examination Into the pres ent condition of world armaments, now under way by the permanent military, naval and air commission of tho league will be completed. In addition a tem porary commission of experts In the political, social and economic world will be asked to submit plans for a reduction of armaments. The ainiiof tills commission will be to get mem bers of tho league to agree not to ex ceed their prescrlt slcale of armaments, to agree to a proportionate and simul taneous reduction In military budgets und to accept the principle of scientific and comprehensive reduction of arma ments to the least figure compatible with national security. Investigation of the prlvato manufacture of muni tions and war material, denounced as "a source of danger to tho world thru an extended sale thruout the less civ ilized areas in Asia and Africa" will be undertaken. Permanent Court of International Justice Nominations of 11 judges, chosen for a period of nine years, are to be made next summer and the selections announced at the second assembly to be held in September next. The list of candidates will be prepared mainly by The Hague court of arbitral justice and all nominees will be voted upon separately by the assembly and the council. So far 22 nations, including Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan, have signed the protocol providing for the court whose adoption by a unani mous vote of the assembly Is held to be the greatest single advance the Laegue of Nations has yet registered In International relations. Two Important problems which had to be decided before the court begins to convene were, first, should the court have the power of compulsory adjudi cation? And, second, should it be or ganized by resolution of the assembly or submitted to ratification by individ ual nations? These questions were de cided by the assembly providing that those nations so desiring may accept the principle of compulsory adjudica tion and that the organization of the court should bo subject to ratification of individual nations. Action for or against the court will be taken In a number ot parliaments which meet this year. Mandates An International commission of nine members from non-maudatory powers, is to be appointed by the council in accordance with an agreement reached on November 29. The question of mandates for the 13,000,000 or more people ot the Pacific Islands, South Africa, Turkey and Kiao-Chow, freed from Germany and Turkey during the war, opens one of the least advanced of all the league's problems. Tenta tive drafts have been proposed by the allied powers so that the league Is now In possession of the terms of all pros pective mandates. These will be ana lyzed and, where necessary, possible changes recommended. International Economics and Finance A permanent, centralizing, economic and financial organization Is to be formed within the league by the ap pointment of an advisory, economic and financial committee, tho member ship of which will be composed of leading world financiers and econo mists. This committee In a sense will be the successor of the supreme eco nomic council. It grew out of the Brussels international conference and will be charged with the duty of con sidering the Immediate application of that body's recommendations. Other subjects to be dealt with by commissions are proposed amend ments to the covenant of the league, registration and publication of treaties between member nations, methods of applying the International economic blockade and means of providing funds for the secretariat and auditing its ac counts. Other commissions or organizations will take up methods of improving means ot communication and transpor tation in Europe and coordination of international health organizations in combatting epidemics. Under the head of humanitarian work come such subjects as the Ar menian massacres and the white slave and opium traffics which are to be handled by. the cooperation of several or all governments in the league. The United States, Spain and Brazil, at the council's invitation, have agreed to use their influence to end the Ar menian horrors and the. allied powers, through their representatives Rt Con stantinople, are now ascertaining the best methods of approach. Fifteen nations, including . Canada, Persia, Slam, Austria, Bulgaria and Germany nre giving financial aid to combat typhus which lias been raging in eastern Europe more than a year. An International conference on the white slave traffic is to be held this summer. A commission of three qual ified residents of Armenia and Asia Minor, one of them a woman, is to be appointed by the council to report on the traffic In women and children in that part of the world. . Suppression of the trade In opium and other narcotic drugs, especially in China, is to be undertaken by an advisory committee aided by experts from all the countries involved: The Netherlands' government which, here tofore has taken the lead In the sup pression of the opium trade by cooper ative action, has turned the whole problem over to the league. In conclusion, Mr. Sweetser declared that "the months betwoen now and September are going to be full of very careful and detailed study ot every phase of league Interest. "The league" lie asserts, "instead of slowing up, Is going ahead with greater intensity than ever."
